§ 3. Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Labour how many persons he estimates are employed by greyhound racing businesses.
§ Mr. IsaacsI regret that no figures are available on which a reliable estimate could be based.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerIs it not important that my right hon. Friend and the Government should have some idea of the number of people being employed in these non-productive industries?
§ Mr. IsaacsThe trouble is that our statistics dealing with entertainments of this kind include those employed in horse racing, golf clubs and other types of sports, such as boxing, cricket and football, and it would involve a considerable amount of work to separate one from another.
